About Past on Glass

The images on this Past on Glass website are digital scans of stereoscopic glass slides from our past (circa 1914.)

PastOnGlass.com features vintage photos taken by László Isépy around Europe. 100 years later they now take us on a new journey of discovery. We are very excited to share with you this time-capsule, of a mostly calm and peaceful Europe – just before the devastating great-war.

Most of the glass slides and boxes are unlabelled – and we are very keen to learn more about Europe during this time – and invite you to help us identify any people or places found herein – If you recognise anything – please post a comment on the images page, or contact us.

The Glass Slides are mostly 45mm x 107mm and are scanned at around 800 DPI – Higher quality scans can be viewed by request.
